Today was, well, busy. I don't want to have to do a day like this again. O and I picked up M at school by 10am. We made to the opthamologist's office by 11am. M freaked out when it was time to do the eye drops for her dilation. Needless to say, it took a couple nurses to help hold her down.. lol.. she's pretty strong.
The exam went just fine until the doc wanted to check her eyes for glaucoma (runs in the family). He needed to put in some drops in one eye. She spazed out again but he got it in her eye. The doc made a deal to only check one eye and she finally did it. Of course, she was fine after all that.
When we were finished, I got the script for her glasses and we split. I bought the girls McD's because they were pretty awesome at the doctor's office. Next, we headed to the mall to pick out glasses at Lenscrafters. She tried on about 4-5 pairs before we decided on the Barbie frames she has now. I picked out a replacement pair for me too. I had to have a saleswoman help me out as it is damn near impossible to pick out frames and try them on alone. I really like the pair she picked out for me.

Anyhoo - we had to wander around the mall for "about an hour" before the glasses were ready. Gee - I get to shop too?? Wheee! We wandered around the Disney Story, Old Navy, B Daltons, KB Toys .. all over... Didn't really buy anything, just wandered.
We get back to Lenscrafters and had to wait for about 15 minutes before we could pick up both pairs of glasses. We finally get our turn, try everything on, get adjusted, etc and finally leave. As I am walking out of the store, I reached into the diaper bag (no diapers, just stuff) for my keys. No keys. Ok - so I stop and really root though the bag. No keys. At this point, I am screaming in my head "Nooooooooooooooooo!" I can't find the damn keys anywhere. I ended up outside in the mall parking lot, trying to peek into my windows to see if I had locked my keys in the car. I didn't see them. Now, I am officially pissed off and freaking out. I called P at work and made arrangements for him to meet me at the mall when he got off work. I walked back into the mall, with the girls who are now starting to talk about about my missing keys. "Maybe someone stole them" or "Mommy lost her keys. Great". Smartasses.
P finally shows up and unlocks the car. My keys were there - they had slipped under some papers on my car seat. We haul ass home - O conked out in the car and we made it home by 510pm. Slapped a crappy dinner of leftovers together and we feasted like kings. LOL
Loong night but we got the kids into bed without killing them. P and I are toasted. Luckily, he is off tomorrow so he will be driving his butt to Hoem Depot and BUYING MY FLOOR!!
Ok - I am spent. I have to catch up on my reads! Have a great night!
